Pros

onboarding, company laptop and dinner

Cons

Cons * Strong office politics. Some people may publicly undermine or insult others instead of having constructive discussions. * If you ask questions or challenge something in meetings, there are cases where someone may say they’ll assign the task to you in front of everyone, which can feel intimidating and discourages open communication. * Limited visibility and participation. Ideas can be interrupted or shut down during team meetings, especially when they don’t align with management’s views. * Requirements are often unclear, and you need to chase information from specific people instead of having proper documentation. * While the company says overtime isn’t expected, there is often pressure to work extra hours to meet deadlines. Work-life balance can be difficult, and the environment can be stressful at times.

Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work arrangement is flexible (you can choose your 3 days in office)

Cons

Tenure and friendship is valued more than actual skillsets. Many people in Ops have no formal college education or true technical skills, and have been complacent in the dept for 10+ years. This leads to inefficient and stale processes that are reluctant to change. The culture is extremely passive aggressive and long-tenured employees are not welcoming to new hires from outside of the organization. People will go out of their way to sabotage opportunities for those offering new perspectives with greater value add. This causes forced interactions with low value collaboration. Many in analytical roles do not even understand basic Microsoft Office skills, Excel functions, V/XLOOKUPS, etc. and data is often reviewed manually per line item… This company is run like a low budget mom and pop shop where inefficient and backwards practices are toxically in circulation.
